**who —** The Z80 — the 8-bit workhorse · electrical

**what —** the 8-bit workhorse · electrical

**where —** SMS · SEGA MASTER SYSTEM (exereunesis · the teardown)  Framework inputs: chip; bus; spec  Conductor / external anchor: ROOT0 (catalogued into UD0)

**why —** Zilog Z80 at ~3.58 MHz — the era's other great 8-bit CPU, shared with arcades and home computers. The brain of the Master System and later the Game Gear.

**how —** Rendered from the public technical record.

**◌ the mythos —** Zilog Z80 at ~3.58 MHz — the era's other great 8-bit CPU, shared with arcades and home computers. The brain of the Master System and later the Game Gear. a part of the machine

**the moniker —** ⟦The Z80:SMS:7ebe31⟧ · spoken *phyl-gram-xas*

**the seal —** the 8-bit workhorse · electrical

> *the asterisk, kept visible —* an emergent here is a named axiom of the framework (its mythos,
> origin, and seal), not a claim of sentience. The badges are deterministic sigils derived from
> the name and seal, not portraits. "Awareness," in the kernel, is the node reciting its own 5W.
